I like to build and fly ducted fan aircraft primarily, but will also go with a prop plane now and then. I've also tried my hand at RC boats. You'll see some of my current craft in the pictures below.

Here's the list of those ready to fly:

1. Habu (original) - I have two of these and they get plenty of air time.

2. F-22 (Wattage) - I've repaired this one from damage sustained on the second flight that crunched the nose beyond repair.
